Canon Lenses on a CL

[Bailey]

Has anyone here tried using any of the LTM canon lenses on a leica CL? I'm most interested in the 25/3.5 and 50/1.4. The 25 looks like it has a pretty good sized rear element and I know that CL light meters can easily be damaged that way.

I've seen posts on here that made reference to a chart on the camerquest site, but I haven't been able to find it. So any first hand experiences or a link to a trustworthy chart would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Bailey

have used a serenar 35/3.5 fine

have used a serenar 35/3.5 fine

lots of clearance with this one, very tight clearances with I-22 and I-50 collapsibles (< 2mm), but still ok. J8 and I-61 fixed 50mm are fine as well.

You should have no problem using the 25mm Canon on your CL. It does not stick in that far as to block or hinder operation of the meter cell swing arm.

50/1.8 and 35/2.8 are no problem. sorry i can't comment on the one's your most concerned with.
